Cat Payload for excavators and material handlers delivers precise bucket load information with on-the-go weighing to help prevent overloading or underloading. From reordering work tool lists to creating new work tool combinations, the display’s new UI starts quickly and enables operators to easily set up machines and access information so they get to work without delay. Operators keep track of the amount of material moved and can split tasks between truck loading in Weigh Mode and moving material around the site in Stockpile Mode. The ability to input couplers and attachments into the system makes setting up work tool combinations highly efficient by significantly reducing calibration time.

Cat Advanced Payload helps customers to:

• Lower costs – by saving time, labor and fuel consumption.
• Improve accuracy – with precise payload targets that help eliminate over and underloading.
• Increase efficiency – helping new operators to get up to speed faster and experienced operators work more accurately.
• Monitor safety – by helping to prevent truck overloading, which results in heavier and more unstable loads.
